He should do Leviathan

>>83213554

Yes, I can't wait to see this beautiful hand painted concept art become sterile CGI white noise.

>>83213554
is that the mortal instruments shit? YA shit?

>>83213700

The Hobbit being a trainwreck was not his fault, Del Toro jumped ship and he had to pick up the scraps and try to make the best from it

>>83213554
Is the book any good? My gf bought me a copy like 2 years ago and I still haven't bothered to read it

It's set 2000 years in the future, after a nuclear war humanity relies on technology from the Victorian era (read: steampunk) while remnant high-technology from the 21st century still exists and is highly sought after.

Basically the people built cities on traction wheels (like a giant tank with a city on it) that drive throughout the continents and devour resources and smaller cities. That's about where the story starts.

It is less cheesy than it sounds and i'm actually looking forward to the film adaption as i think this could work well in a visual medium.

That was already made in 1995 though, OP. Oh wait. You wouldn't know since that was before you were born.

>>83213554
I hope he spends a year doing practical effects production

There's something about steampunk (and also Dr. Who) that in my opinion sucks the dignity out of life. I wish I could audibilize it better, but there it is. I feel about steampunk the same way I feel about fast food. I just think it's disgusting, and if we're really going to be pigs with no standards then why don't we all just kill ourselves.

>>83213773
Nah not related at all. No weird christian themes just cool post apocalyptic shit.

I feel that way about both steampunk and Dr. Who but mortal engines is goat. It's more like most technology except for huge fucking engines and shit has been lost after the world was nuked. People are rediscovering shit like corpse-cyborg things and satellite weapons.

>London is the principal Traction City in the novel, which has returned to a Victorian-era society. London's society is divided into four major and a number of minor Guilds. The Engineers are responsible for maintaining the machines necessary for the survival of London, many of which are found by the Guild of Historians. The Historians are in charge of collecting and preserving highly prized, often dangerous artifacts. The Navigators are responsible for steering and plotting the course of London. The Merchants are in charge of running London's economy.

He didn't even want to do the Hobbit. Every single person here knows that you do some much better at stuff when you actually care about it

>>83214004
Thanks Sam.

>>83214267
So did someone force him to do King Kong and The Lovely Bones too? Because they were both pretty shit.

Steampunk it´s for faggots

>>83214351
its not really le quirky gears on everything xd steampunk, its more toned down

>>83214345
Both just movies he made for shits. He's shown us all how talented he is when he actually TRULY cares about a project with Lord of the Rings, and if he puts that much effort into this then I have no doubt it'll be great

>>83213776
That doesn't justify the horrible bloom CGI

>>83214409
He is not even directing Mortal Engines.

>>83214409
Still, the fact that he hasn't made a good movie in one and a half decade is pretty worrying.

>>83213663
Literally had the exact same thought, tho I've never read the series or know much about it. Im not always a big fan of steam punk, but the machines vs darwinist engineered monsters seems like a really cool setting, and would make for some awesome epic scale visuals that Jackson could do a good job with.

Are the books any good?

>audible groaning

Steampunk is dumb though. It wouldn't even be a popular genre if it didm't give homely white bitches an excuse to wear corsets.

Crimson Peak was awesome, and I'll fight anyone who says otherwise.

I am so hyped for this i really hope it isn't a let down

>>83213554
For a second there I thought that was Horizon Zero Dawn

I don't care after the abortion that was the hobbit trilogy

>>83213916
So it's like wild wild west on a bigger scale?

>Jackson made the Star wars of our generation
>Jackson also made the Star wars prequels of our generation

How will this work? He will surpass Lucas?

>>83214463
They aren't stellar but they get the imagery across

>>83213574
>Implying the material isn't GOAT
>>83213785
Yes. The whole series is.
>>83214908
No, its barely even 'steampunk'. It's steampunk in the same way something like Nausicaa is. Its set in the far future, thousands of years after a nuclear war.

Its got airships and big machines (neither of which run on steam btw) in it, so that means its steampunk to the people who sort things into categories.

>>83213554
Looks KINO as fuck famalams

Giant vehicles called Traction Cities compete in a ecosytem where they eat eachother.

A once powerful but now heavily outmatched city, London, comes out of hiding and starts heading east across the Great Hunting Ground, a landmass that was once Europe, Africa and Asia.

An Apprentice of London's Historian Guild, Tom, is thrown off of the city along with a heavily scarred (and I mean her ugly face) would be assassin, Hester. They traverse the Hunting Ground following London encountering other traction towns and cities, pirates and terrorists. All the while hunted by the stalker Shrike, an ancient cyborg soldier from a long forgotten war that has survived into the age of traction cities.

Meanwhile on London, the daughter of the Head of the Historian Guild, Katherine, with a low class Engineer, Bevis, investigate why London is suddenly travelling east, making itself a target for powerful and hungry cities, and the secrets of the Engineer guild and her father.

>>83216451
Because it isn't run of the mill. And it isn't trash either.

>>83216687
Anyone else laugh when Bevis died?

Does no one in this thread know that Jackson isn't directing?

Why can't he just retire quietly with his shekels after the disaster that The Hobbit was?

Get some taste and watch a film before you judge it.

Its far better than any movies i've seen in any thread in the past week

>>83216840
I knew.

But the image is from PJs facebook.

>>83216978
Meh, not really, I like Mortal Engines, its a nice little book series that would make pretty great films.

But if you aren't interested you could always go back to your 'capekino' threads or whatever.

Welcome to the hype train anon. It's been filming for months now.

>>83213554
I sure hope Scarlett Johansen and Idris Elba are in it and for racist sexist xenophobic Jackson to attone for his sins actually sticking to the source material when bringing something to life!

>>83214768
That's Guillermo Del Toro not Jackson

>>83216575
manga is better

>>83213554
I feel like the technology isn't quite there yet to make something like this look believable, it'll probably be a soulless cartoony CGI-fest like the Hobbit films

The stalker Shrike and the stalker Fang if they do the whole series will almost definitely be at least partially motion capture.

His 90s output was godlike though. Bad Taste is sweet.

If you can make a believable city model I don't think it would be difficult to put tank treads on the bottom and a jaw mechanism on the front.

>>83214114
It's probably because steampunk didn't arise naturally, it's a modern invention (the word steampunk is derived from cyberpunk), and as such is genre fiction filled with fanservice tropes by cosplayer types

If you read actual victorian era scifi they're completely different.

Name 5 ways in which it's like Escaflowne

>>83213574
His work from Bad Taste to the LotR trilogy is almost spotless. Each film is great and unique in their own way.
After that King Kong wasn't too shabby just a bit long and the rest is kind of meh.

>>83213554
I'll watch it.

>>83223093
I think in film it could look good. There is a lot of potential here.
